Chapter 423: Lily Visits the Farrell Family
Downstairs, Tina got into the car and pulled out her phone.
Another message.
“Transport, Elsa, with a third party involved.”
Jared frowned slightly, “Is it that mysterious person again?”
Tina rubbed her temples, her eyes deepening, “Yes, I still can’t find any trace. Whenever I try to enter their domain, my system crashes completely!”
The IP address for each message from this mysterious person was different, making it impossible to track; the attempts either resulted in system paralysis or the computer screen going black.
The hacker’s skills were so advanced that even she was at a loss.
Tina had been trying various methods to track them, but all to no avail.
To this day, she couldn’t determine whether this mysterious person was an insider or a smokescreen deployed by GTO.
Jared looked at the message, “His statement is quite broad, do you understand what it means?”
Tina shook her head, “I don’t understand.”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She understood the last two sentences, but transport?
Was GTO planning to use transportation to send something out?
But their research hadn’t succeeded yet, what could they possibly be sending?
She couldn’t figure it out yet and decided to send the message to Mountain Veil Order for Jayden to investigate.
“Serena, where are we going now?” Hayden asked.
Tina put away her phone, “To the Farrell family.”
“To the Farrell family? Mr. Farrell, didn’t you just leave? What, homesick now?” Hayden asked suspiciously.
Tina slapped the back of Hayden’s head.
Why was he becoming more infuriating by the day?
Jared: When can Nathan come back? Hayden’s driving me crazy every day.
Nathan: No! I want to lie in bed for the rest of my life!
After receiving the slap from Tina, Hayden shut his mouth.
Tina leaned on Jared’s shoulder, “Who’s at home?”
“My mom and grandpa, Sophia went to school,” Jared replied naturally, wrapping his arm around Tina’s shoulder and gently kissing her forehead.
A sudden brake, and Hayden nearly threw them both out.
“Can’t you drive! Competing with me on the road!” Hayden cursed, frustrated.
This was a limited-edition car, and typically, no one dared come close on the road.
Unexpectedly, today there actually was a car brazen enough to approach.
Jared glanced out the car window, “Can’t you see there’s a car there?”
Suddenly, his expression froze.
Jared watched the small delivery truck, his eyes gradually darkening.
“Tina.”
“Mmm.”
Tina responded in a deep tone, a hint of amusement hidden in her eyes.
She understood the meaning of the message now.
At the Farrell family, Logan and Marie were picking out a wedding dress for Tina.
Though the wedding date wasn’t set yet, it was always good to prepare early.
“This one, this one looks good, Tina will definitely look beautiful in it,” Logan pointed out a wedding dress.
Marie had different opinions; she pointed at several other dresses, “Dad, I think this one looks good, and it suits Tina as well.”
In a matter of minutes, the two had already selected over a dozen wedding dresses.
Jared walked in with Tina, looking at the sofa full of wedding dress designs, and paused, “Mom, are you and dad planning to have another wedding?”
Marie glared at him, slapping his forehead, “Can’t you speak properly?”
Jared, “…”
Was everyone prone to violence or what?
Why did they always resort to hitting?
He wondered if anyone outside their family would dare touch him like this.
Marie spoke irritably, “I’m too old to have another wedding, these are for Tina, move aside, you wouldn’t understand.”
She dismissively pushed Jared away, smiling warmly as she walked towards Tina, “Tina, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I would have prepared something delicious for you. Is there anything you’d like to eat? I’ll have it made right now.”
Jared pinched the bridge of his nose.
He had intended to greet Logan but ended up watching his grandfather head straight toward Tina.
He felt utterly invisible!
Jared was speechless.
Fine!
He was certain he wasn’t his real son.
Tina was.
Tina, along with Logan and Marie, exchanged polite greetings before she said to Logan, “Grandpa, my dad said he was really sorry about yesterday’s birthday party. He specifically asked me to come over to apologize to you.”
“Why all the formality? It’s not your fault. It’s all Walter’s doing. Really, that boy should be the one apologizing to your parents,” Logan replied, a look of regret on his face.
He knew Tina wasn’t one to seek the spotlight, but the pressure from the second house yesterday forced her to reveal her identity.
Tina didn’t blame Logan; she vividly remembered how he defended her the previous day.
It was some rotten characters who had ruined Grandpa’s birthday party.
Those people, she would deal with them sooner or later.
After some small talk, Tina pulled a notebook from her bag.
“Grandpa, this is a bracelet I designed yesterday. Our company’s urgent collaboration with the Nan family should meet their standards.”
Before Logan could respond, Marie exclaimed, “Tina, is this your latest design? Isn’t this the concept bracelet you launched years ago? It’s finally a finished product!”
Though Marie was primarily a perfume enthusiast, her collection of jewelry was impressive.
Including a cabinet full of perfumes, she also owned many world-class jewels.
She had been upset for a long time after missing out on a masterpiece by Irene called “Shinny Star.”
Now, Irene was her daughter-in-law, and she could have as many of her collections as she wanted.
Tina nodded, “Yes, that’s the one. I revised some details yesterday.”
Marie’s eyes sparkled, “Dad, can I have the first one? It’s a masterpiece by Irene, her latest after so many years. Dad, please let me have the first one.”
Logan was well aware of his daughter-in-law’s persistence. If he didn’t agree, who knew how long she’d keep asking.
“Alright, alright, it’s yours,” Logan said with a resigned smile.
Marie’s grin was so wide she could barely see.
While they were still laughing, Vivienne pushed the door open.
Jared’s gaze darkened.
Then he turned to look behind Vivienne.
Following her was Lily.
Marie’s expression also darkened. She wasn’t familiar with Lily, but she was aware of the drama with the Reed family.
Especially Lily’s obvious desire to marry her son.
So, seeing Lily annoyed her.
What kind of seductress thought she could entice her son?
That would depend on whether she allowed it.
Lily stepped forward, holding a box containing a very expensive medicinal herb.
“Mr. Farrell, I took the day off to come see you with Vivienne. I couldn’t make it to yesterday’s birthday party, so here’s my gift to you.”
Vivienne sat next to Logan, “Grandpa, Mingzhu picked this out especially for you. She’s been regretting not being able to come yesterday to celebrate with you.”
Logan looked unimpressed, “Ha! Poor old man like me can’t afford such expensive herbs. Better take it back.”
